The Day of ^Arafah It was said:- The Great Muslim Nation of Prophet MuHammaD in these first ten blessed days of the Islaamic Month of Dhul-Hijjah is eagerly awaiting a time to witness the best manifestation of true unity. Where Muslims with diverse appearances (different races and nationalities) and different mother tongues meet under the banner of TaWHeed (To correctly hold the belief that there is no God except for Allaah and Prophet MuHammaD, peace and blessings be upon him is the Messenger of Allaah), gathered over one land, supplicating to ONE God, Allaah (The One without a Partner and the One who does not resemble any of His Creation - SuBHaanahoo wa ta^aalaa). At Mount^Arafah Muslims say: لبّيك اللهمّ لبّيك، لبّيك لا شريك لك لبّيك، إنّ الحمد والنعمة لك والملك، لا شريك لك Which means: O Allaah, I obey Your Order, I obey You time after time. You are the One without a partner; I shall obey You time after time. You are the One who deserves to be praised and truly thanked, every endowment is from You and everything is under Your Dominion. youtu.be/OjuAaO8_0To youtu.be/jGCDTc4Ey_o?list=UUvvrznC909-VzHB6KSXfLTw According to a number of reliable witnesses (Darulfatwa (Australia) being one of them). Thursday, 25th September 2014 was the first day of the blessed Islaamic Month called: Dhul-Hijjah (1435). Therefore based upon this the best (out of all the days of the Islaamic Year) and blessed day of ^Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) will be on Friday 3rd of October 2014 and the blessed celebration of ^Eeid-ul-Adha will be on Saturday the 4th of October 2014 In ShaaAllaah. We thereafter encourage fellow Brothers and Sisters in Islaam to observe the Sunnah Fast (That is to abstain from eating and drinking (as well as other matters) from dawn until sunset) on the honourable and blessed Day of ^Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) seeking the reward from Allaah, SubHaanahoo wa ta^aalaa only. We ask Allaah the Exalted and Glorified to bestow His Mercy and Grace upon us, to grant us the sincere and honest obedience to Him in learning, comprehending and applying the Rules of the Religion of Al Islaam throughout our lives and thereafter may He, SuBHaanahoo wa ta^aalaa end our lives successfully upon the blessed and true Religion of Al-Islaam Aameen and Aameen and Aameen and Aameen. Prophet MuHammaD, peace and blessings be upon him said (Sallallahu ^alayhi wasallam) said: يُكَفَّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ ، وَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهُ Which means: “It (The Day of ^Arafah) expiates (the sins) of the previous year, and the following year.” BENEFICIAL NOTE: This Sunnah fast is for the Muslims who are not performing The Honourable Hajj. Therefore, the pilgrims who are physically present at Mount ^Arafah on the Day of ^Arafah do not observe the aforementioned Sunnah fast; as it is not from the guidance of Prophet MuHammaD, peace and blessings be upon him (Sallallaahu ^alayhi wa sallam) or his Companions. BENEFICIAL NOTE:- From the blessed and best Day of ^Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah - Which is the BEST Day of all days from the Islaamic Year) up until the ^Asr prayer (Late Afternoon Prayer) on the 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah, after the Salah (Prayer). The Muslims make the takbirat and a lot of Supplication (DU^aa) seeking the forgiveness of Allaah and the reward of Paradise (Al-Jannah).
